Let's Play Bingo @ HOAC

Hello lovely friends I hope all is well in your worlds and you all have something wonderful planned for this weekend. I should be working as usual, I just hope the sun shines!

As it's the 1st of the month it's time for a new challenge at

HECK OF A CHALLENGE

and this week the powers that be have chosen to play 

Bingo

I love a good game of bingo lol I never seen to win though!

This was another commissioned card and this was made under pressure for me (had to come up with it over night and I usually need a week to think about things!) I was convinced I was going to fail but I actually like how it turned out - I hope Ralph and Joy did!

The papers are from the fabulous Maya Designs and I added the diamond pins as it was a diamond anniversary. Some more yummy rolled roses, I do really love rolled roses and some glamour dust on a chipboard 60.

Here's the bingo board

I went from corner to corner with

Flowers, Die Cuts/Punch & Pearls

I hope you will all get to join us, I'd love to see what you make.

Head over to the main challenge blog for some gorgeous inspiration and all the details and the prize that the lovely Mandy's are giving away this  month from their fabulous online store

Once again this is scheduled as I made this at the end of March.

Embossing @ MAWTT

Morning Guys, almost another Bank Holiday lets hope the sun shines for this one, I'm actually writing this during the snow of the Easter Bank Holiday (I'm getting ahead ready for when I will be working)

Today see's the start of a new challenge for Team B at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES

and this week the lovely Red is hosting her first challenge with us and she has chosen

Embossing

It can be wet or dry or even both!

I went with the dry variety on a card that was commissioned.

I struggle with commissioned cards as I'm never sure they will like what I made!

Anyway here it is...

2 of the 3 papers are from our Sponsor this week

Bearly Mine Designs Shop

Plain & Simple and Simply Dots in a lovely soft lilac.

These really are lovely papers, they are already distressed and they sand away beautifully at the edges when you want to blend the edge of a covered card in.

I hope Joy liked her card!

Head over to the main challenge blog for all the details of this challenge, the prize on offer and lots of gorgeous embossing from my lovely Teammies.

That's all from me, enjoy your long weekend,

Morning lovely people, hope you're all having fun and enjoying the Easter break, spare a thought for little old me out at work all over the Bank Holiday in the cold!!

A quick scheduled post from me to let you know it's a new challenge at

OLDIE BUT A GOODIE

and this week my lovely little Scottish friend Janice is hosting

Transport

Well I do feel I have cheated a bit as I needed something quick and these are certainly 'Old'
Like many of you out there I possess almost every Kanban kit Dawn Bibby presented on QVC in my early craft days and thought it was about time I used some - for a change!!

Gosh you can tell how guilty I felt using these - I made 3 to ease my conscience!!
A little bit of pre cut decoupage and a lot of glue gel - they are kinda cute!!

Head over to the main challenge blog for a lot more detailed inspiration from my lovely teammies, we have some fab new DT members so please pop by and say 'hello'
All the details of the challenge can be found there - including the prize on offer

Remember to qualify for the prize you must use something on your card/creation that is at least 6 months old and be sure to let us know what it is in your post.

Right I'm off - I should be working!!

Anything BUT Christmas @ OBAG

Morning guys, are you fed up with making Christmas cards yet? If so you will want to join in this week at

OLDIE BUT A GOODIE

as my bestest blogging buddy Lisa has given us just that challenge!

Anything BUT Christmas!

I still have a million Christmas cards to make but a change is as good as a rest!

This was actually made a while ago before I went on holiday as my Mum had asked me to make some cards for her to send. I feel a little like I've cheated with no stamp but once upon a time that's how I made all my cards! Now I'm addicted to stamped images and I can't believe how much my card making has changed!
This was made for my Mum's friend, Phoebe, and she loved it - she got a bit emotional actually!!

Head over to the main challenge blog for all the details of this weeks challenge and some gorgeous inspiration from the Goodie Girls.
We have a fabulous sponsor

Thats all from me today, I'll be back tomorrow with an extra card I've sneaked in this week for Diva's. Thanks for stopping by and a big hello to my new follower Debby
